  • Page 12: Acquiring The Edid

    Acquiring the EDID Initially the VM-24HC operates with the factory default EDID stored in the non- volatile memory. The source reads the EDID from the device when the device is plugged in or powered on. This is usually done only once when the unit is being set up in an installation. Once acquired, the EDID is saved in non-volatile memory and further acquisition is not necessary.
